The Rock1996

Gen. Hummel:
Have they bothered to tell you who I am, why I'm doing this, or are they just using you like they do everybody else?

Mason:
All I know is, you were big in Vietnam; I saw the highlights on television.

Gen. Hummel:
You wouldn't have any f***ing idea of what it means to lead some of the finest men on God's earth into battle and then see their memory betrayed by their own f***ing government.

Mason:
I don't quite see how you cherish the memory of the dead by killing another million, and, uh, this is not combat. It's an act of lunacy, General, sir. Personally, I think you're a f***ing idiot.

Gen. Hummel:
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Thomas Jefferson.

Mason:
Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious, according to Oscar Wilde. [Hummel strikes him in the back of the neck] Thank you for making my point.
